Q

Differentiate Aerobic from aneorobic glycolysis

A

Aerobic glycolysis happens in cells with mitochondria and adequate o2, with an energy investment of 2ATP, the end product is pyruvate. The latter happens in cells without mitochondria and o2, energy investment 4ATP, the end product is lactate,

Q

What are the 3 important (irreversible and regulated) steps in glycolysis?

A

Step 1 - phosphorylation of glucose (hexokinase).

Step 2 - phosphorylation of fruc-6-phosphate (PFK-1). Step 3 - formation of pyruvate (pyruvate kinase)

Q

What is the most common enzyme defect in glycolysis?

A

pyruvate kinase deficiency which manifest as chronic hemolytic anemia

16
Q

What are the alternate fate of pyruvate?

A
  1. pyruvate > acetyl coa (pyruvate dehydrogenase) krebs cycle. 2. pyruvate > oxaloacetate (pyruvate carboxylase) gluconeogenesis. 3. pyruvate > lactate (lactate dehydrogenase) anaerobic glycolysis. 4. pyruvate > ethanol (pyruvate decarboxylase) yeast
